Response: Deforestation in Brazil increased 30% in 12 months, agency says

It's quite ridiculous how many trees people can cut down in such a short amount of time. I also read this other article that talked about how people lost the motivation to preserve the amazon rain forest. It was like a movement for a while and then it kind of stopped. A lot of things can get done once the media gets the world's attention and it goes viral. When that heated viral subject disappears in the news people often forget and move on. I personally like trees and this is really disheartening. As part of my research project this article was a good read. No bias, just good informative article.
